Physical Sweeper Ursaring (Guts)
Ursaring is a spectacular Physical Sweeper. It is meant to take down the opponent's team with brute physical power. Previously before Generation IV, a move's damage category was determined by its type. With Guts, if Ursaring is statused its attack is 1.5x; ignores burn halving physical damage. Facade's damage doubles when the user has a status affliction. Combine that with Guts to seriously give Ursaring a sweet boost.

♦ Earthquake is a physical 100-base power Ground-type move (hits adjacent pokemon. power doubles on dig).
♦ Dig is a physical 60-base power Ground-type move (digs underground turn 1, strikes turn 2).
♦ Brick Break is a physical 75-base power Fighting-type move (destroys screens, even if the target is immune).
♦ Seismic Toss is a physical 0-base power Fighting-type move (does damage equal to your Ursaring's level).
